CHURN.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 232,138, dated September14, 1880.

Application filed May 4, 1880.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GUSTAV E. H. LTT-SGHWAGER, of Buckeye township, in the county of Hardin and State ofIowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns; and Ido hereby declare that the following* is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, which will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the Io same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure lis a side view of, my improved churn, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinalsection of the same.

This invention has relation to improvements in oscillating churns; andit consists of a suspended swinging vessel or receptacle, itssuspending-rods being suitably secured or pivoted to an elevatedpointand connected to ears on the receptacle, combined withrelativelytixed slatted beaters or breakers, substantially ashereinafter more fully set forth.

Referring to the drawings hereto annexed, A indicates the creamreceptacle or vessel, preferably rectangular in shape, and having acover, A', with a central iianged Opening, a, which is closed by a lid,b. O C are ears in 3o the form ot' staples, with their verticalportions.

extending u p through and serving to hold the cover A upon thereceptacle, while their horizontal or right-angled portions are insertedinto the ends of the receptacle. D D are the 3 5 rods for suspending thevessel or receptacle A in position so as to be susceptible of anoscillatory or swinging motion, with their lower ends hooked in the earsC C of the receptacle (No model.)

A, while their upper ends are designed to be pivoted or hung in theceiling or other elevated 4o point suitable for the purpose.

E E are the beaters or breakers slid in the receptacle transversely toits length about at its middle, with their lower ends diverging fromeach other and resting on the bottom ot the receptacle. These breakersor beaters are fixed with relation to the action of the vessel, so thatthe action of the vessel thrusts the cream or its contents against thebreakers, the friction between which effects the conversion 5o of thecream into butter. These breakers consist each of a series ot' octagonalslats or bars, E', to give greater t'rictional surf-'ace of' contactbetween the cream and breakers.

Having thus fully described my invention, 5 5 I claim and desire tOsecure by Letters Patent- The hereiirdescribed churn, composed ofthereceptacle or vessel A, having the cover A, ears C C, with theirriglitangled portions en- 6o tering the end of the receptacle and theirvertical portions extending up through the cover, rods D, suitably innigin position and with theirl lower ends hooked into the ears C C, andbreakers or beaters E, slid in the receptacle A and fixed with relationto the oscillatory action ot' the receptacle, substantially as and forthe purpose specied.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signaturein presence of 7o two witnesses.
